Features: This series of books is very "cool." The short stories in the book are great to read, and one of them was even selected for my Chinese textbook this semester. I think if all our textbooks were this interesting, how great would that be?—Yao Xiao (Winner of the First National Primary School Reading Competition)
The essence of this series, "Story Era," receiving the Sixth National Excellent Children's Book Award is well-deserved. Congratulations on your achievement! This series is suitable for children, but even more so for adults. It can be enjoyed by all ages, and I hope you will continue your work. —Liu Tao (Shenzhen Reader)
There are some books in the market that are very similar to your series, with covers and titles that imitate yours. We know this is what they call "copying," and we have even seen pirated versions. I never buy those books because "Great Wisdom in Small Stories" is the best brand—it is worth preserving and worth giving to children. —Li Yunfei (Sichuan Reader)
The cards we hold, whether good or bad, are our only resource. Some people have good cards but always complain and end up with the worst outcome; others may have less ideal cards but skillfully maneuver and get a better score. This cycle leads to vastly different achievements in life, though the initial difference in the cards everyone started with might not have been that great. —Xiao Jian (Advisor of the book, writer)
This book interprets life and the wisdom of life by telling short yet impactful stories such as "The String of Hope," "The Master of Fate," and "Hardship," and commenting on the philosophy and implications they contain.
